Mike: I love that killer deal you got on the saw in Jersey! Nice prudent man slabs ! The one that you said is corpolite is actually a KY geode, some were hollow some were solid, you got a solid one there, the Shattuckite you got looks nice and solid. Great slabs Amber

Thanks for the I.D. on the Geode Amber.I'm cabbing those for sure.The Shattuckite was from that couple from Africa but her husband wasn't there so I got a much better price.I might go for some of that Malachite they had.
The show yesterday was a carbon copy of the inside part of the Jersey show.I only had an hour while Mikey was at the Karate school but I'm going back today and take my time checking out the goodies.I cant think about yard work when there is a rock show 10 minutes from the house!

Those are really fantastic Mike! I would be running to the show too! Yard work can wait! That shuttikite has a great mix of everything in it! It should cab up great! the KY Geode is cool! I can see a face in the lower center right of the close up picture. Everything looks neat and I know you are going to have a blast with them! Fran

I always like seeing Prudent Man agate.
The large plume pattern can be a challenge for making cabs because you need farly large cabs to get enough of the pattern. I will be keen to see what decisions you make.
That red lace agate looks very solid to boot.
Thanks for sharing.

Mike: The malachite guy was at our show and the guy we got the lapis from was at our show right beside me, I showed him the cab I made from the little piece, and sold him a cab, LOL. He is a pistol, he can really work them, I said hey you are the lapis guy that we were buying from in the rain when the canopy soaked us, LOL

Cool stuff Mike. I'm a big fan of prudent man and am always glad to see pics of that. The Shattuckite is really nice, I know the dealer you are talking about. Glad to see we got you hooked on rock shows but I doubt your wallet is. lol

That was a two day show.Mostly jewelry and specimens but there was a few dealers with slabs and rough.All the dealers said I don't want to miss the show coming up in August in Springfield Mass,supposed to be the third largest show in the country.I'm planning on attending that one for sure.
